Nothing of what I've said is random in any way, shape or form. If you doubt me, go look it up.

Not false. What YOU fail to recognize, however, is that the 1/4th of an inch of travel on the stick is deadband. Nothing happens inside that 1/4th of an inch, AT ALL. Once you reach the limit of that 1/4th of an inch, where the stick doesn't move anymore, THEN the flight-control system starts translating the FORCE (basically the weight you put on the stick) you input into control-surface deflection, which again makes the aircraft roll/pitch.

Which is NOT true for the F16's stick.

Which again is NOT true, because the travel of the stick has absolutely nothing to do with the maneuvering of the aircraft what so ever. Again, when you reach the LIMIT of that travel, the WEIGHT (i.e. force) you put on the stick is what defines how large the effect on the controlsurfaces will be. High weight (i.e. pulling hard on the stick) equals a faster and higher response from the aircraft.

oh yeah to move it farther you have to apply more force

then so its a 109 stick based on the force to move it farther you have to apply more force

a sophism
You're comparing a wire-and-pulley system to a computer-controlled system. You might as well compare a squirrel and a pig. They're both mammals, but that's where the comparison ends.

Why is this so hard for you to grasp? Either you're being a deliberate troll, or you're as intelligent as my right shoe.
